			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The pharmaceutical industry is perhaps the biggest money making enterprise in this whole world.  We need medicines every day, every family needs to purchase medicines and every decision we make while buying medicines helps change the world around us. The medicine companies chart the trend of their customers and make significant changes in their marketing strategy every year.<span id="more-34"></span> The choice that we make while buying our medicine gets reflected in the federal policies and FDA regulations.  The medicine business is a lucrative enterprise and the companies make a huge profit at the consumer’s expense. So if you feel that you should cut down your monthly medicine expenses, then the generic drugs can provide a nice solution for you.</p>
<p>The generic drugs have a lot of stigma and misconceptions attached to them but the fact remains that these drugs are priced lower and they really make sure that you get the best medical care at the lowest possible price. When you buy a generic drug, you are not making a choice between good and bad quality medications. The difference between generic and branded drugs is the brand name, that’s it. The chemical composition of the generic drugs is identical to the branded ones, which ensures that they have the identical action on the human body as well. ]</p>
<p>You can easily check with your physician and they will tell you that the generic drugs are in fact the copies of branded drugs that have expired patents. Every pharmaceutical company that develops a certain drug files a patent in its favor. A patent give the medicine company the sole right to manufacture and market the medicine to the consumers. After twenty years when the patent expires, other small pharmacy companies can manufacture the generic version of the drug and release it into the market. The generic drugs created by the smaller companies are tested and trialed by the Food and Drug Administration before they can reach the hands of the common man.</p>
<p>The generic drugs make sure that your medical bills go light on your pocket and you get the chance to save money on your medical bills throughout the year. The biggest problem is that then newly launched medications do not have their generic versions available yet. The newly launched drugs have fresh patents which restricts any other company from releasing it generic version to the consumers. There is a common tendency among the consumers that the generic drugs contain impurities in them, nothing can be further from the fact. The generic drug manufacturers have to abide by the same norms as the branded drug manufacturers.</p>
<p>Procuring generic version of your prescription medicines from online pharmacies can help you save more than eighty percent of your monthly expenditure on medications.  The only thing that differentiates the generic drugs from the branded ones is the packaging and the company that manufactures it. The dosage strength and the benefits of the generic drug is exactly the same as the branded drug.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We live in a society that increasingly depends on the drugs for its health and well being. There are drugs for everything ranging from headaches to nausea   the drug and medicine industry is perhaps the most profitable business of the twenty first century and the drug manufacturers have created a multibillion dollar industry out of something that is so essential to the human well being.<span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>The pricing of drugs is another interesting feature of the medicine industry. There are two types of drugs that are normally found in the market, the first one is the branded drug while the other is known as the generic drug.</p>
<p>There is no need to cringe at the name of the generic drugs as they are identical in chemical composition to the branded drugs. The reason behind the generic drugs being priced lower than the branded drugs is that they are not advertised so vigorously to the buyers.  Whenever a pharmaceutical company comes up with a new drug, they patent the formula of this new discovery. The patent is viable for few years and after that, the chemical formulas can be used by every other company. As the patent draws to an end, the other pharmaceutical companies can apply to the FDA so that they can manufacture and sell the generic versions of the drug. The generic version of a certain drug means that the chemical composition is the same but the marketing name is different, that’s it.</p>
<p>Since the new companies do not have to invest in the research development and initial marketing of the drug, the costs of making it is significantly lower than that incurred by the parent company. The generic drugs are manufactured using similar procedures under the sterile conditions like any other company. There is absolutely no truth to the myth that the generic drugs are made from low quality raw materials, in fact FDA monitors and checks the quality of each and every drug that is released into the market.</p>
<p>The companies producing the same generic drugs might be engaged in a price war and that may cause the price to go down even further. The price of the generic drug is significantly lower than it s branded counterparts, which makes it a more economic option for many users.</p>
<p>Another common misconception is that the generic drugs work slower than the branded ones, this is not true at all. As long as the chemical formula is the same, two drugs whether they are generic or branded are basically the same thing. What you see in front of your eyes is difference in packaging and presentation of the drug, once it reaches your stomach it takes the same course of action as its costlier relative. The generic drugs are just as fast acting and potent in similar dosages as the branded drugs.</p>
<p>If you are worried about consuming generic drugs, you should consult your physician and he/she will be able to guide you in the right direction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drugs are an important part of our lives and we rely on it on a daily basis, whether we realize it or not. Every day we require we need to use a certain medicine to keep our body and mind healthy. Even if you are not suffering from a chronic ailment, you still might consume a few vitamin pills every now and then.  There are a number of drugs that are identical in their chemical compositions but are marketed under entirely different names to the consumers.  The chemical formula of a synthetic drug is its actual identity and not it’s marketing identity.<span id="more-26"></span></p>
<p>The generic drugs have become extremely popular in the recent years after the consumers have become more aware of the practices in the pharmaceutical industry.  For example melformin is considered a generic drug for diabetes on the other hand Glucophage is the brand name of this generic drug. When you go to the drug store and ask for melformin you will be provided with a drug that costs less then glucophage and has the same effect on your body.</p>
<p>Some of the marketing gimmicks by rival companies claim that the generic drugs are cheap fakes but that’s not true at al. all the generic drugs must pass the rules and regulations of the Food and Drug Administration before they can be released into the market.</p>
<p>If you are on a prescription for some chronic ailment, you can ask your physician if they can prescribe certain generic drugs for you. The generic drugs are by far more economic than the branded ones and they have the same effect on the human body.  Buying a branded drug will not cure you any faster the mode of action of both the generic drugs and the branded ones remain the same. The generic drug manufacturing companies do not have to invest their money on the researching and developing the product so they can sell the product at lower rates than the parent pharmaceutical company that invented it in the first place.</p>
<p>The cheap price tag of the generic drugs does not mean that they are inferior in any way; if they had been inferior they would not have been passed by FDA in the first place.  There is a lot of stigma attached to the generic drugs and you will need to get rid of them to properly switch to these drugs varieties. Generic drugs should not ever be confused as cheap or fake as they are hundred percent genuine versions of the branded drugs. A drug manufacturer can make a generic drug as soon as the patent for a certain branded product is over; the patent usually lasts for twenty years. Most of the recently released drugs do not have their generic versions out yet.</p>
<p>The biggest advantage of going generic is the huge cost reduction in the medical bills that you will be able to see almost instantly. The generic drugs cost far less than the branded ones despite having similar actions, so they should be used whenever you can.</p>
